Dear Katrina

I really don’t know where to start from, but here we go. So it’s your birthday today, it’s amazing how fast the past year has been. it’s been 4 years since you let karla carried your name, she is so proud of the woman you are gradually becoming, a woman of substance with integrity in sight.
The past four years has been filled with a lot of ups and down times characterize by discouragement and encouragement. it has been a roller coaster ride, but be thankful for all the experience and I hope you have learnt your lesson because it’s time to move on to greater challenges..
I know you’ve had a hard time with friendship building, I know your heart aches for a friend, a friend who will understand and listen to your sentiments without judging you. someone who will come with you to an adventures, travels, or even just enjoying each other with a cup of coffee, and a good conversation, etc. I also know, better than anyone, that this is most likely not in the cards for you. It’s time to start facing forward at what adventures and freedom are waiting for you in a life without the so called “FRIEND”. never start trying when you find one, but when you notice that the person has no interest with you, “JUST DROP IT” life is too short so don’t waste your time and effort, because you’ll never know someone out there is just waiting for you to notice them but you are too busy to someone who is not interested with you at all. in the past year, you’ve begun to understand and appreciate that having 26 friends on Facebook, (and become 18 friends list now, after you unfriended few account that you don’t recognize anymore and hardly contacted you) won’t be the end of the world… but there’s still sadness in your heart and I hope that over the course of this next year, you’re able to see a full life for Donny and your children even without friends. You have him and your children’s and you love them; you’ve experienced being alone for years, and I bet there are lots of them out there who are perfectly happy with the life they are living with the same situation as you.
Furthermore, you are doing well as a mum and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. The love you have for Donny and your children is unparalleled and always strive to a better mother and a partner everyday.
Let’s talk about health… You’re not very good at it. For someone who has faced the health issues that you have, you sure don’t take very good care of your body. I know in the past 2 or 3 weeks, you’ve been working out and that’s great! It’s a great start, but you are 32 years old. It’s time to get serious about taking care of the body that you just borrowed, Start feeding your body as well as you feed your family …or your cat’s for that matter. Everybody eats healthier than you. Knock that off, start taking pride in your health and you’ll be happier and healthier for much, much longer. I promise. Because I am you, I happen to know that this is already something you’re taking very seriously, but I still think it needs to be in this letter… just so you can remind yourself if you ever start to give up. I read somewhere that the habits you want to live the rest of your life by, need to be established by the time you’re 40, in order for them to be lifelong habits. I’m surprised they even give you that long… We all should have been doing this way sooner than now.
It’s time to get real Katrina, you have a lot to achieve this new year and there is no time for sentiments. Quit procrastinating and start taking steps towards achieving your goals, always remember the keys to success lies with you it’s time to reach out and get it.
Happy Birthday!!!
